Lashkar-e-Taiba Reportedly Conducts Maritime Training Near Karachi Under Tourist Cover
Intelligence reports indicate that Lashkar-e-Taiba is conducting maritime training near Karachi's Charna Island, Pakistan, under the guise of tourism. The group is reportedly receiving scuba diving, combat swimming, and underwater operations training, facilitated by the Pakistan-based Markazi Muslim League, a Lashkar proxy. Indian security agencies are concerned about Lashkar's efforts to enhance sea-borne infiltration capabilities, recalling the group's past use of maritime routes in attacks such as the 2008 Mumbai assault.
